Some of you may not care, and some of you will be quite pleasantly surprised.

 

[Meier]

I guess that covers pretty much all angles.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Well, we know it's not bad news then.

 

[Suikoguy]

Some of you may not care, and some of you will be quite pleasantly surprised.

Uh oh... teh plot thinkens!

 

[Mejilan]

Tales of Symphonia / Rebirth $50 bundle?

 

[MoccaJava]

Shocking... that's a strong word. I'm very curious.

Oh don't let yourself be such a blantant media tool. Yes, shocking is a strong word. So, they use it to hype things up and to make you curious when you otherwise may not be so.


Consider now: It's the PS2. It's lifespan is getting, not neccesarily close to, but the end of it is definately on the horizon. There is nothing ridiculously huge that could happen to it at this stage that would be so "shocking", even a price drop to $99.


I don't even understand the point of speculating. All it does it raise ones hopes that will, eventually, be shot down.

 

[BuddyC]

Well, we know it's not bad news then.

It could be, some wouldn't care, others would be suprised that Sony is dropping out of the console business.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

I agree with the dual shock story.

could also be RE4 on PS2 (that's about as big and as shocking as I can think)

The former gets my vote.

What is with this trend for shitty mags/sites to post OMG.. SHOCKING.. MEGATON news? First EGM and now IGN. Boo

 

[Goreomedy]

Probably PSTwo Holiday bundles we've heard rumors about.

 

[fennec fox]

Hot protip: if it was that important, word would get out anyway.

 

[SentientStone]

Probably PSTwo Holiday bundles we've heard rumors about.

I wouldn't mind it does turn out to be this.

 

[MetatronM]

Clearly, Sony is going third party. Platform agnostic.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

I wouldn't mind it does turn out to be this.

I wouldn't either, PSTwo with FFXI would be awesome

 

[arter_2]

like i said before always big news on tuesday

 

[neptunes]

Hot protip: if it was that important, word would get out anyway.

 

[Catchpenny]

Sounds like Pikachu has jumped ship to the PS2. Can't wait to hear the electrifying details.

 

[Teddman]

The new PS2 is going to be $99.

 

[lunlunqq]

hmm... the new ps2 will be $149...

but sony is releasing an old ps2 + HDD + FFXI bundle for $149 to keep square happy...

 

[SantaC]

Worst piece of news would be if RE4 went PS2, and that gamecube owners had to wait for it to get ready for PS2. Killer7 anyone?

 

[acklame]

probably something lame
the previous ign ps2 shock & surprise & amazing story turned out to be yet another lotr sequel/PoP

 

[Mejilan]

Sony's Shock & Awe (tm) is making a come back?

 

[Infernodash]

hmm... the new ps2 will be $149...

but sony is releasing an old ps2 + HDD + FFXI bundle for $149 to keep square happy...

When was the bundle confirmed? I haven't seen or heard news of this anywhere and I work at best buy.

 

[DCharlie]

"Killer7 anyone?"

looks fantastic
and different
SIGN ME UP.

 

[Mejilan]

I thought IGN confirmed that the PSTwo would retail for $149.

I imagine the FFXI+HDD+PS2 bundle = speculation.

 

[SantaC]

"Killer7 anyone?"

looks fantastic
and different
SIGN ME UP.

um yeah my point was that K7 was delayed for GC in order to wait for the PS2 version.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Mark, your avatar rocks.

 

[Goreomedy]

Yeah, the HDD bundle is speculation. And not very educated speculation, at that.

But... I can see Sony selling multiple PSTwo bundles with the hotest Christmas titles for $149. GTA, MGS3, GT4, Jak3, R&C3, etc. And this could lead into a $99 announcement for PSTwo for next E3.

 

[SantaC]

A Sillicon Knights game announced?

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Even without a game I'll buy the PSTwo for $150, with a game, now that's awesome. DO IT SONY.

Isn't the PSTwo launch supposed to coincide with the release of GTA:SA? Wouldn't it be cool if they bundled a PSTwo with the game? Or how about a GTA pack that includes all three GTA's plus a PSTwo for $200?

 

[ToyMachine228]

A Sillicon Knights game announced?

I'd be good with that!

 

[GaimeGuy]

Some of us will be surprised, and some of us won't care...

It's nothing big, then.

Just IGN's way of building up hype and getting a few more hits.


It'll be something stupid like new movies of GT4

You just wait.

 

[MarkRyan]

It'll be something stupid like new movies of GT4

You just wait.

Nah, it's better than that It might make Xbox fans angry.

 

[Baron Aloha]

NINJA GAIDEN (or Kasumiden) ON PS2!!!

 

[Infernodash]

Nah, it's better than that It might make Xbox fans angry.

Hmm. Dead Or Alive Ultimate on PS2?

Maybe Ninja gaiden

 

[Mejilan]

KotOR 2 PS2 timed exclusive?

 

[rs7k]

COME ON SAY IT

 

[The Faceless Master]

Nah, it's better than that It might make Xbox fans angry.

Splinter Cell 3 Exclusive!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Nah, it's better than that It might make Xbox fans angry.

OMG, the next EA game will be multiplatform. :lol

Ninja Gaiden for the PS2 would cause the forums to explode, I don't expect it to be that big. The closest thing to that might be some spinoff starrring another person from the Dead or Alive games, but I can hardly see that happening.

Hmm Xbox fanboys...eh? That could be anything. I'm hoping to be surprised, but expecting to be disappointed.

 

[Lyte Edge]

GTA San Andreas is PS2 exclusive?

 

[Mooreberg]

shocking
suprising
xbots mad

Hmm... I sincerely doubt it's Ninja Gaiden since Itagki seems to be pretty tight on Microsoft's leash. I doubt Obsidian worked on a PS2 version of KOTOR2 in addition to PC/XB... you know it's not related to a Microsoft published property... uh... Sony plans to roll out LIVE-esque service but for free?

Can't see what else it would be.

 

[Infernodash]

Sony plans to roll out LIVE-esque service but for free?

Why in god's name would that make xbox fans mad?

 

[Makura]

Tomorrow is going to be the stupidest day ever.

I'm in. Put me down for $500*.

*Monopoly money

 

[Defensor]

Starting next year, EA no longer on XBOX Live, persuaded by the Sony money hat.

 

[Mareg]

Fable as been ported to PS2 in one week. Goes gold and will ship bundled with PStwo.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Starting next year, EA no longer on XBOX Live, persuaded by the Sony money hat.

That would be awesome, just seeing the reactions around here would be classic.

 

[Infernodash]

It's apparently not EA related. I'm guessing it has something to do with tecmo, or maybe a microsoft first part.. (maybe)

 

[Fatghost]

Ninja Gaiden for PS2 would be sweet but it's probably not that.


And is the forum messed up for anyone else?

 

[Phoenix]

PsTwo ships with porn embedded in the firmware.

 

[Laurent]

I don't think it will have something to do with price cuts. Probably strictly game-related since it will be on IGN PS2, and not on IGN PSP...

Something that hasn't been shown during TGS? Is that even possible? Western-related then? Silicon Knights?

 

[Soul4ger]

Will this go up at midnight?
